Rooney scores 100th Premier League goal

LONDON (AFP) - England striker Wayne Rooney scored the 100th Premier League goal of his career here on Sunday when he rifled home Manchester United's second goal against titlechasing rivals Arsenal in the first-half.

The 24-year-old - who scored 15 for previous club Everton - has been in a rich vein of form of late and it was his 22nd goal in all competitions this season, making light of Cristiano Ronaldo's departure for Real Madrid.

United were leading 2-0 as half-time approached.
